Newly promoted Leeds United will travel to Stamford Bridge to face a tough challenge from Chelsea in the next round of the Premier League. Daniel Falk stated that his team knows its own strengths and advantages and is not afraid of any opponent.

In their last match, Leeds United defeated Nottingham Forest 3-1 thanks to goals from Jadon Bogle, Okafor, and Calvert-Lewin. After a run of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches, Leeds United currently sit 16th in the league table with 29 points.

For Chelsea, Rosseneil's team defeated Wolves 3-1 in the last round, with Palmer scoring a hat-trick.

Leeds United manager Daniel Falk said, "The game is still the same, and the rules are no different. Of course, it feels more comfortable to play at home, especially with our incredible fan support. We will go on the road with confidence and belief, and we know that as long as we play to our potential, we will always have a chance away from home."

Looking back at their home game against Chelsea this season, Leeds United defeated the "Blues" 3-1 after goals from Jakob Bijol, Ao Tanaka, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Daniel Falk said, "One thing is certain: we played exceptionally well in that game and fully deserved the victory. We dominated in every statistic. Such days are rare, including being able to suppress a league powerhouse in a match and win in this manner."

"Chelsea is a very promising team, and once they get into form, it will be a tough game and a difficult day."

In addition, Daniel Falk emphasized, "We go to the away game with respect, but we also know that we have the ability to bring our strengths to the field. If we can do that, then we will not be afraid of any opponent, and we will have a chance to win, no matter where we go."
